Growing company in an industry no one seems to want. History of beating earnings estimates, decent balance sheet. Company has tons of free cash flow. Meets 6 of 6 tests to make it a Peter Lynch stock: industry domination, good cash flow, good balance sheet, cheap relative to future earnings, good earnings growth, unlikable industry.

Slowing growth in the states couple with a Greek default and austerity in the other eurozone countries should increase the distressed debt offerings quite a bit no? I'm going iiiiin.
